Ly Foods Market

I had this spot saved on my Yelp for a while now but haven't really been eating out much. I was super hungry today and found this spot randomly while looking for food spots in the area. The service was great. The food came out hot and fresh and was seasoned to perfection. I will definitely be back to try more on their menu!

Food is delicious. The Lao salad had good amount of crabs and well seasoned paired well with the sausage and fried pork ribs. Friendly customer service and very authentic feel.

Still a great place to eat. Friendly service. I'm here once of week! You can tell all of the food is cooked with love!

Ly Food Market & Gifts at 4440 W Illinois Ave #400a, Dallas, TX 75211 What is going on here, I drove by this place many times and saw the sign that says they serve food on the windows outside. Today was the day I decided to go in there and check them out. I looked up their reviews on Google. First I saw people really love this place. Like I said today now I know why. I ate some fried rice with the house made chili oil sauce. The picture didn't make it to the Google review because I ate it way too fast, I guess I was hungry. Found my favorite coconut water and one of my all time favorite ginger treats in this location. This place is now one of my favorites Somewhat hidden, somewhat secret but it's definitely a special gem in this community.

Ly Foods Market is a MUST-try, mixture of a grocery store and traditional Laotian street food. My favorite was the Tam Mak Hoong, Sausage, Larb beef, Bamboo Soup & Sticky Rice . The staff is friendly and super helpful & ready to guide you to the best finds. There's also a small dining area where you can enjoy your meals, Must pay up front before being seated . Definitely be back

I randomly found this place and it doesn't get much more family ran than this. The mom is in the kitchen, the sons help out, the recipes are from their mom's upbringing resulting in deliciously bold flavors.I had the pad see ew, Thai style papaya salad, and chicken wings. They also have a market with pantry stables for various Asian dishes. They also make chili oil that's very different and tasty. It's not as oily as others that I have tried and it's full of complex flavors that's peppery and Smokey.

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had from a "hole in the wall" or otherwise. I'll be going back next time I'm in town.

This place is a gem, the best places are the ones that no one knows about. I Everything was great: Pad See Ew, Papaya salad, fried ribs, shrimp fried rice (4), and egg rolls. They will not make exceptions, which is the best part because that's how you should eat at a restaurant. Dine in or take out. 10/10 recommend.

I'm in Dallas for the week and my love for supporting small (especially micro small) businesses always lands me in the coolest and most surprising discoveries. I found this spot via a Yelp search while chasing down some authentic Southeast Asian food -- and boy oh boy, my fellow Yelpers did not disappoint.For starters, this place is a hybrid of a market place and a low key restaurant with just a few tables in the back for onsite dining. The mini market side of the house offers spices, sauces, frozen items, noodles, cooking tools, etc. for any Southeast Asian dish you feel like whipping up at home. If I lived down the street, this would be my go-to market because I saw all of my kitchen and pantry essentials. The other side of the house is cooking up some Thai and Lao dishes that could only be done through generational recipes. More on that in a bit. This spot is basically part market and part take-out (or dine-in) for Thai and Lao cooking or food. Win-win if you ask me!Now, on to the dishes I ordered. The menu is quite impressive considering it's not a full blown restaurant which tells me the chefs in the kitchen have it dialed in. I tried the Papaya Salad - Lao Style, Yellow Curry with Chicken which comes with a side of rice, and a Pad See Ew. I grew up eating Southeast Asian cuisine which means I know authenticity when I taste it, and let me tell y'all -- this was it. The dressing for the Papaya Salad absolutely hit the mark -- right hints of fish and shrimp paste, and thoughtfully tossed to perfection. The Pad See Ew had great char flavors from the wok, and was well seasoned. The Yellow Curry with Chicken was creamy from the coconut milk and the spice level checked the box. I only wish they had pineapple as I enjoy my curry most with pineapple chunks. Nonetheless, no complaints about anything I tried -- and the portion sizes were very generous so I ended up packing most of it to take back to the hotel.Finally, this joint is family owned and operated. One of the owners came out of the kitchen to greet his guests who were dining in including me. He shared that they're originally from California and moved to Texas to pursue business opportunities. I'm very happy that this family continues to work hard to withstand competition and face the various hurdles of today's economy.Love the concept. Food was excellent. Hospitality is like when I visit my Auntie or Uncle's home for dinner. I'm a forever fan.

Food is amazing! A lot of sauces are home made and the owners really love what they do
